THE SICK CHILD.

Child-O mother, lay your hand on my browi
o mother, mother, where am nowf
Why is the room so gaunt and great?
Why am I lying awake so late?
mother-Fear not at all; the night is STILL
Nothing is here that means you ill
Nothing but lamps the whole town
through,
And never child awake but you
Child-Mother, mother, speak low in my ear,
Some of the things are so great and
near,
Some are so small and far away,
have a fear l cannot say.
What have done, and what do fear
And why are you crying, mother dear9
Aother-Out in the city sounds begin;
Thank the kind God the carts come inl
An hour or two more and God is so kind,
The day shall be blue in the window
blind,
Then shall my child go sweetly asleep,
And dream of the birds and hills of
sheep.
-ROber: Louis Stevenson.

Damn Air Not IninrIons

Damp air is not as injurious to the
lungs as to the skin. The electric condi-
ton Of the air has more to do with its un-
comfOrtableness than has it's dampness.
When it is positive it is bracing and re-
freshing; when negative it debilitates
and Expresses. If the skin is warm no
fear need be felt OF breathing damp or cool
air, either waking or sleeping.-Mrs. E.

A street railway company in Los An geles have offered the city Council of that city Sso,ooo for a franchise permitting them to construct street railway along its streets. This is very significant in- dication of the wonderful growth and splendid future prospects of that wonderful city, whilst San Francisco have been giving their franchises away Los Angeles will sell them at a good tig- ure. Phenix might view such transac. ton with profit and next time man or a company would ask them for franchise they would have better sense then to give away such commodity forthe term of fifty years.

THE BEST
THE BEST Hair restorative in the world Is HALLS HAIR REVIEWER. It cures all diseases of the scalp, and stimulates the hair glands to hcalthful action. It stops the falling of the hair; prevents its turning gray; cures badness, and restores youthful color and freshness of appearance to heads already White with age. The following are 6 few illustrations of what is done by
 HALLS
 Vegetable SiCiliRn HAIR RENEWER:

H6- MRS. HUNsBERRY, Sf4 FrdnkIin Are., Brooklyn, R r., after severe attack of Ery- sipelas in the head, found her hair--alrssdy grny-falling of so rapidly that she soon became quite bald. One bottle Of HALLS HAIR RE- NEWER brought 1t back as soft, brown and thick as when she was n girl.
 h9- MR. KISSING, an old farmer, near Var. sdic, Ind had scarcely any hair left, and what little there was of 1t had become nearly white One bottle of HALLS HAIR RENEwER stopped It's falling out, asd gave him thick, luxurfant head of hair, as brown and fresh as he ever had.
 Rs- MRS. A. T. WALL, Greenfield, ChssAire, Eng, writes: "I have found the greatest ben- eft from the use of HALLS HAIR RESEwER, 1t having restored my hair, which was rapily hll- ing of, and returned its original color"
 RS- DR. EMIL SEP, Detrot, Mich, certihcs that HALLS HAIR RENEwER is excellent for hair growing, and gives back the natural color to faded and gray hair"
 E- MRS. S. K. ELLIOTT, Gienrilis, v. Vd., says: "Onc bottle of HALLS HAIR REHzwER restored my hair to its natural, youthful c0lor."
 No injurious substances enter into tho composition of HALLS HAIR RENEwER, and 1t is not dye. Its vegetable ingro- dients render 1t in the highest degree bepe- ticial to the scalp as a preventive of dis case. Its effects are natural and lasting, and it does not make the hair dry and brashy, like the so-called rostoratives com pounded with alcohol.
